Optimization of Electroporation Conditions for Introducing Heterologous DNA into .
J Microbiol Biotechnol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The studied strain can grow using both light and chemical energy, making it effective for turning carbon dioxide into valuable products, but it struggles with low transformation efficiency.
- The researchers improved this efficiency by knocking out a gene that produces a DNA restriction enzyme, which inhibits transformation.
- They optimized electroporation conditions, leading to a significant increase in transformants—over 7,000 per µg of DNA—making the strain more useful for industrial applications.
Article Synopsis
- Traditional medicine (TM) is important in healthcare and this study aimed to analyze systematic reviews (SRs) of TM modalities to identify gaps in existing research and inform future studies.
- The researchers conducted a comprehensive search across 17 databases from January 2018 to December 2022, ultimately screening over 181,000 records to include 2,719 relevant SRs focusing mainly on adults and specific health conditions.
- The study found that most TM research concentrated on herbal medicine and acupuncture for conditions related to the digestive, circulatory, and genitourinary systems, while highlighting low methodological quality of the included SRs as a concern for future TM research efforts.
Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS), stand out due to their atomically thin layered structure and exceptional electrical properties. Consequently, they could potentially become one of the main materials for future integrated high-performance logic circuits. However, the local back-gate-based MoS transistors on a silicon substrate can lead to the degradation of electrical characteristics.

In particular, biological conversion is attractive as it can produce long-chain hydrocarbons such as terpenoids. This study reports the high yield of β-farnesene production from CO by expressing heterologous β-farnesene synthase (FS) into Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

- Clinical reasoning is a critical aspect of diagnosing and treating patients in clinical practice, with potential similarities to Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM).
- The study involved expert discussions to clarify the clinical reasoning concepts and the Jinchal process in TKM.
- The article highlights theoretical concepts from four traditional Korean medical schools and suggests future research should explore clinical reasoning across traditional East Asian Medicine.
Repeated Dry Sauna Therapy Improves Quality of Life in Obese Korean People.
Korean J Fam Med
September 2020
Background: Dry sauna treatments improve the quality of life for chronic pain, congestive heart failure, and type 2 diabetes patients. This study aimed to determine whether dry sauna therapy improved the quality of life of obese people.
Methods: A total of 38 consecutive participants aged over 20 years with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 were recruited for the study.
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that includes motor and nonmotor symptoms. Sleep disturbance is known to decrease the quality of life in patients with PD, and there are limitations to the pharmacotherapy currently in use. Therefore, complementary treatment therapies are required to address these limitations.

Do In Seung Gi‑Tang (DISGT) is herbal medicine used for the treatment of BSS. It primarily treats metabolic diseases (MDs) including obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and gynecological diseases, by promoting blood circulation.
